Free Web NovelChapter 2014: Chapter 2100: Token of Slaughter
Upon seeing the visitor, all the cultivators of the various races in the city hurriedly cupped their hands, "Greetings, City Lord."
This person grasped the Kui Water Crystal, scrutinizing it closely in his hand with a smile, "This Kui Water Crystal is indeed extraordinary, containing extremely potent Water Attribute elements. Obtaining it can definitely cultivate the Water Law."
As soon as he spoke, several auras changed in the distance, seemingly indicating someone coveting this Kui Water Crystal.
The Lord of Yellow Wind City laughed heartily, "If anyone covets my brother Jiang Yan’s Kui Water Crystal, they must first get past me."
It seemed he could see through people’s hearts, being seasoned and cunning.
Jiang Yan smiled gently, "What wind has brought the City Lord here? This Kui Water Crystal, which I gifted to young friend Chen Nan, naturally has nothing to do with me anymore."
The Lord of Yellow Wind City clapped his hands, "Haha, I forgot about that. Friend Chen, do take care of this Kui Water Crystal. It’s a heavy treasure coveted by many. Even I couldn’t resist admiring it for a while."
As he spoke, he returned the Kui Water Crystal to Chen Nan’s hand, as if he was just joking before.
The Lord of Yellow Wind City embraced Jiang Yan warmly.
"Jiang Yan, I’ve known about your arrival at Huang Feng City for a long time, but knowing your nature, I dared not disturb you. It’s been hundreds of years since we last met; shouldn’t we have a drink?"
Jiang Yan smiled faintly, "The City Lord is too kind."
He tacitly accepted the invitation from the Lord of Yellow Wind City.
Looking towards Chen Nan and the others, "These are all my friends, I wonder..."
"Haha, no problem, no problem, guests are always welcome," laughed the Lord of Yellow Wind City, his gaze sweeping over Chen Nan, Man Wuji, and Ye Yiyi along with the Black Feathered Chicken.
"That Heavenly People Clan Supreme in my Yellow Wind City indeed has a guardian role, but he is just a Super Supreme. In an entire city, he has privileges. With young friend Chen and this Wilderness Domain expert as backing, killing a few inferior Supremes in the Hundred Clan Domain is no big deal."
The Lord of Yellow Wind City waved his hand, and a Dragon Chariot appeared not far away, drawn by two Void Ancient Dragons. Chen Nan and his companions entered, finding the inside exceedingly spacious, spanning thousands of square meters.
"This Lord of Yellow Wind City doesn’t seem simple." Man Wuji transmitted a Divine Thought into Chen Nan’s Sea of Consciousness.
"Brother Man, I think the Lord of Yellow Wind City is quite hospitable, although somewhat like smiling with hidden knives." Chen Nan remarked with a smile.
The Black Feathered Chicken stated solemnly, "Chen Nan, don’t be deceived by appearances. The Lord of Yellow Wind City has demon clan blood; when I approached him just now, the Devil Core reacted. He’s likely significant."
Everyone was wise enough to keep their thoughts to themselves, not showing it on their faces.
Chen Nan could tell that while Jiang Yan was polite to the Lord of Yellow Wind City, it was mere politeness. The two appeared friendly, but to Chen Nan, there was no genuine brotherly affection visible between them.
’True brothers wouldn’t go unseen for hundreds of years.’ Chen Nan thought to himself, shaking his head subtly.
Pulled by the two Void Ancient Dragons, the Dragon Chariot quickly arrived at the City Lord’s mansion in Yellow Wind City.
The mansion was imposing, and Chen Nan, observing from outside, was shocked. The mansion alone was the size of a city in the Mortal World.
Within the mansion, squads of five gold-armored Imperial Guards patrolled, each member with cultivation above the Mid Stage Supreme.
Compared to the two great sacred places of the Heavenly People Clan, the foundation was even more profound.
"Young friend Chen, since it’s your first time here, stay for a while. I’ll be glad to show you the local customs of Yellow Wind City and fulfill the host’s responsibilities."
The Lord of Yellow Wind City noticed the shimmer in Chen Nan’s eyes, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Tonight we won’t rest until we’re drunk."
Chen Nan was curious; this Lord of Yellow Wind City clearly wasn’t a good person. He wasn’t sure of Jiang Yan’s realm, but it was definitely at the Supreme King Realm.
Reaching the Supreme King Realm requires more than just being a fool.
Apparently, Jiang Yan wasn’t either. Why did he follow along?
The Lord of Yellow Wind City announced the mystery of the Water Law within the Kui Water Crystal in front of everyone.
It seemed like a mere sentiment, but his intentions were questionable. With his words spread, surely many would covet the Kui Water Crystal.
Yet, with Chen Nan and friends staying at the City Lord’s mansion, if someone really had designs on it, the tight security would mean a robbery would be a slap to his own face.
The Lord of Yellow Wind City couldn’t be that foolish.
Chen Nan felt a bit troubled; Ye Yiyi seemed to know what he was thinking. "Brother Senior, we’ve just arrived at Yellow Wind City. Elder Jiang is probably trying to lend us some influence. As for everything else, we’ll take it one step at a time."
"Indeed," Chen Nan laughed. "What storms haven’t I weathered? So what if you’re a Supreme King?"
"I’m also a Supreme now, not easily manipulated."
’If Jiang Yan and the Lord of Yellow Wind City were to have a great battle, it would be perfect. By observing, I might be able to comprehend the Water Law. With both Water and Fire Laws, encountering a Supreme King wouldn’t mean being defeated in one move.’
Chen Nan pondered, realizing that even though he’s now just in the peripheral region of the Hundred Clan Domain, he’s already met two entities comparable to the Heavenly People Clan Supreme and has comprehended the Fire Law. Truly, it was worth coming here.
A few hours later, they were full of food and drink.
Jiang Yan squinted with a smile, "Lord Wei, there’s one thing I need your help with. Friend Chen’s strength can rival a Super Supreme, and since the Heavenly People Clan guardian is deceased, I wonder... if the Guardian Order can be transferred to young friend Chen, making his actions in the city more convenient."
"Haha, I thought it was a big deal; turns out it’s just a small matter. I’ll immediately arrange for my subordinates to handle it." Lord Wei of Yellow Wind City laughed heartily, agreeing straightforwardly.
Man Wuji and Chen Nan exchanged a smile; it seemed Jiang Yan really cherished and valued talent. The Guardian Order was evidently a killing token in Yellow Wind City.
Now, Jiang Yan taking the initiative to request this token held deep implications.
"Though Brother Wei, you are the City Lord, you can’t break the rules because of us. I felt an instant rapport with young friend Chen, yet I can’t let my brother err for my sake. The weather is serene tonight, with a full moon. Why don’t we visit the Heavenly Dao Pavilion? As for the pavilion’s keeper, I’ll trouble Lord Wei to arrange it." Jiang Yan’s words significantly constrained Wei Yixiao’s speech.
Chen Nan felt a secret delight; a silent dog doesn’t bark. What defines a high-level individual? Elder Jiang truly shows the master doesn’t reveal all his skills.
